Republic last won the Central Ozark Conference volleyball title in 2004. Tonight, that dry spell may end.
The Lady Tigers have a chance to clinch at least a tie for the COC championship when they travel to Branson tonight in their final conference game. If Nixa and Ozark both win, and if Republic beats Branson, the teams would finish in a three-way tie.
Nixa plays Webb City, and Ozark plays Carthage to end the COC season. The three co-leaders have each suffered one loss. Republic lost to Nixa; Nixa lost to Ozark; Ozark lost to Republic.
